Fizik Tempo Argo Road Saddle: engineered for Endurance

Ultimate Pressure Relief
Designed for cyclists prioritizing 4+ hour rides, the Argo’s anatomical cutout integrates medical-grade pressure mapping to eliminate 93% of soft tissue compression (vs standard saddles). Its 143mm narrow profile positions you 2cm forward compared to conventional saddles, optimizing hip alignment without sacrificing pelvic support.

Adaptive Comfort System
– Wingflex Technology: Patented shell flexes 15% more than rigid competitors (tested vs Selle SMP & Specialized Saddles), accommodating leg movement during climbs
– Type 2 Foam: 8mm progressive density layer (40kg/m³) with 25% greater rebound rate than racing saddles (Fizik lab data)
– Biomechanical Rails: Carbon K-9 rails flex 22% more under load than aluminum alternatives (ISO 4210 certified)
